Description: Psychological Assessment in South Africa provides an overview of the research related to psychological assessment across a broad range of contexts in South Africa. Written by both academics and practitioners, it provides a combination of psychometric theory and practical assessment applications, and draws together the disparate threads of research that has been conducted locally, including the most recent developments in the field. The volume covers a range of areas within the broad field of psychological assessment, including research conducted with various psychological instruments, and critically interrogates the Eurocentric and Western cultural hegemonic practices that dominate the field at present. It thus creates a base of current, localised research on which to build more egalitarian practices in the future.
